Brooklyn Street Art, Bridges & Skyline Tour
Description
This experience brings together the many layers of Brooklyn in one seamless walk, showcasing its street art, film scene, and 360 views of the Manhattan skyline (yes, even the Statute of Liberty). You’ll explore how DUMBO evolved from a historic waterfront of warehouses into a lively district filled with murals, design studios, cafés, and breweries that define its modern character. Along the way, we’ll step into artisan shops, enjoy moments overlooking the bridges, and uncover how art, history, and everyday life have evolved here. Your guide will also provide personal photography upon request, to help capture the moment.

Ari was provided good knowledge and additional pictures for many of the artists. Was easily walkable.
Thank you for the kind words, Vicki!
We had a great time on this tour! It was a pleasure to spend two hours with Ari. He taught us a lot about street art and Brooklyn history that we did not know before. A perfect way to explore Dumbo on a Saturday afternoon!
Thank you Lisa— It was my pleasure to show you around the neighborhood!
Ariel was a fantastic guide! We booked this trip on a whim and so glad we did. Nice to stop and hear the history behind some of the iconic street art. I would definitely book again and recommend to others.
Terrific tour and very interesting! Ariel was a great guide, full of knowledge, patient and flexible. Do this tour and make memories!
The Brooklyn Art Walk, Drink Crawl and City Views tour with Ariel Coello was definitely a highlight of our New York trip. We learned a lot of interesting background information about the street artists and about Brooklyn in general. The best part came at the end with a visit to a local brewery with very special and tasty beers🍻 It was great and absolutely recommended!
Thank you, and cheers to you and your family!
We loved our Brooklyn Art Walk tour with Ari! He took us around Dumbo and gave us some of the history of the area as well as the beautiful street art that brings it to life. He also took us to see some breathtaking sights of the Brooklyn Bridge, happily took all of our photos for us, and even bought us a drink at a brewery at the end of our tour! I would highly recommend a tour with Ari if you’re traveling to NYC!!
Thanks for the kind words, Stephanie. :) Your group was a blast, and I'm happy you enjoyed the experience!
Amazing! The host is knowledgeable and likeable! I signed up for other experiences after this one because it was so great! I'll be following along hoping for more!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed yourself. I look forward to seeing you again in the near future!
Ari is very passionate about street art - and it is contageous, so watch out :-) We went on the virtual tour in March 2021 - wich was a great service, as we are from Denmark (Scandinavia, you know?) and are not visiting Brooklyn many times in our lifetime. Ari also had photos of pieces, that were on the same walls before, and is doing a great job documenting this dynamic scene. Thank you for great tour!
Thank you for sharing Peter! We will be exploring many new areas this summer and hope to see you soon :)
Ari was an excellent tour guide as he not only showed us the various graffiti and murals, but provided a bit of background on each explaining about the process and the artist's bio as well as a bit about the area itself for those of us not familiar with the geography of Brooklyn.
Thanks so much, love these photos you captured!
Ariel is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who made the virtual visit very interactive. I highly recommend booking a tour with him - whether that be a virtual or in-person one (if that's possible).
Thanks for trying us out. Happy we'll be doing live, in-person tours again moving forward!
